The X-men run missions and work together with the NYPD, striving to maintain a peaceful balance between humans and mutants. When it comes to a fight, they won't back down from protecting those who need their help.
Haven presents itself as a humanitarian organization for activists, leaders, and high society, yet mutants are the secret leaders working to protect and serve their kind. Behind the scenes they bring their goals into reality.
From the time when mutants became known to the world, SUPER was founded as a black-ops division of the CIA in an attempt to classify, observe, and learn more about this new and rising threat.
The Syndicate works to help bring mutantkind to the forefront of the world. They work from the shadows, a beacon of hope for mutants, but a bane to mankind. With their guiding hand, humanity will finally find extinction.
Since the existence of mutants was first revealed in the nineties, the world has become a changed place. Whether they're genetic misfits or the next stage in humanity's evolution, there's no denying their growing numbers, especially in hubs like New York City. The NYPD has a division devoted to mutant related crimes. Super-powered vigilantes help to maintain the peace. Those who style themselves as Homo Superior work to tear society apart for rebuilding in their own image.

"Well, I suppose that does help, though that's like, a week or two's work right there." Still, he had the money. Oh the things we do for love. He forgot he was still holding Kat's hand, though his grip may have shifted slightly to be more comfortable. If this made it look more affectionate so be it. Cafas was beginning to think he hadn't had enough non-violent physical contact lately. He resolved to hug more people, or the same amount of people more often. He grabbed the stupidly expensive box and some water stones, holding them under his arm, and moved to the counter. They had a knife display here. They seemed like far better quality items, well, some of them did.
You're gonna have to let go to carry this stuff...
Cafas payed the sum, which made his wallet much lighter, and also forced him to let go of Kat's hand, which he felt was likely a good thing before he scared her. The woman at the counter smiled at him, thanked him for shopping at her store, and sent him on his way with his items. She was a bit rude about it really.
He now had no free hands, and had to rely on Kat not to get lost, or at least grab his sleeve or something if the need arose. He fell back into the conversation they had been having. "Calley really does seem to be constantly getting himself into trouble. I'm also starting to think half the funny cat videos on the Internet were also of him. What he really needs is a collar with bells, to warn people that he's coming." Cafas chuckled at his own joke, quietly.
“He had a collar once,” Katrina commented. “During registration. I'm not sure if he lost it, or decided it wasn't his style anymore or what happened to it. I haven't seen him wear once since then, even in his animal forms.”
Katrina's hand felt cold after Cafas let go of it. Oh well, he had to use his hands, it made sense.
“Is that going to be for Calley?” She pointed at the fancy sword box Cafas was taking to the counter. It made sense that it might be, since they were talking about him, but then again, it could have been for someone else, too. “It's very pretty.”
They paid then were ushered out as if they were suspected of wanting to take more with them than what they had paid for or something. Seriously, what was that lady's problem?
“Do you need help carrying anything?” She offered to take the bag that had the sharpening stones, or whatever they were, so he could carry the box unencumbered.
“Naw, he doesn't need a bell. I'm not too worried about him when he's close by. I worry more when he's not around. Maybe next time he gets himself stuck in a form, we should take him down to the vet and get him micro-chipped. Then we would always know where he was, and if he got himself into trouble,” which was bound to happen, this was Calley they were talking about, “we could go rescue him.”
